Access HTML by id through SASS












0















Is there a possibility to access an HTML element by id through SASS? I use SASS in combination with React in TSX files. Normally for styling I would define a SASS entry and add that entry to the list of classes, as shown in the following example:



Report.sass:



.city {
color: red;
}


Report.tsx:



import * as React from "react";
import * as Style from "./Report.scss";

export class Report extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
public render() {
return <div className={Style.city}>Test text for cities</div>;
}
}


This example works perfectly fine. But if I now gave the div tag an id, I would need to also change the SASS file accordingly. This through fails, as shown here:



Report.sass:



#city {
color: red;
}


Report.tsx:



import * as React from "react";
import * as Style from "./Report.scss";

export class Report extends React.Component<{}, {}> {
public render() {
return <div id="city">Test text for cities</div>;
}
}


I believe that the SASS file forgets about the #city entry as there is no pointer in the Report.tsx to it. Am I right with this assumption? How could I make the SASS command work with the city id?

          I think theres some misunderstandings about css and html.



          You can have both a class and id tag for each html element.



          Therefore it will compile fine if you have the following:



          <div id="NewYork" className={Style.city}>


          This is an unorthodox way to apply styles in React though. The easier way is to import the stylesheet via



          import './Report.scss';


          then you can use your styles more freely like so:



          <div id="NewYork" className="city">

          • Your second example does not work with my settings. If I change from import * as Style from "./Report.scss"; to import './Report.scss'; and from <div className={Style.city}>Test text for cities</div> to <div className="city">Test text for cities</div> the CSS properties vanish and have no effect the result. Is there any special project setting necessary for this to work?

          • You could try require('./Report.scss') but the import way should work if its not giving you an error. The .city { ... } would apply to className="city"
